Yastel Yamada is the co-founder of the SVCF (Skilled Veterans Corps for Fukushima), composed of retired nuclear workers, engineers, construction workers and others volunteering to work in the high-radiation environment of Fukushima Daiichi to stabilize and decommission the plant, so younger workers don't have to be exposed to radiation. The SVCF also advocates for improved safety for workers, and for internationalizing the effort to stabilize the plant's three reactors, and the 7 spent fuel pools at risk for meltdown with global consequences.
